A while ago, I found out there is a compose intent URL: you can even add a text parameter with URL-encoded content!

For more than an hour, any page on the Wayback Machine leads to [Archive] Internet Archive: Scheduled Maintenance:
Temporarily Offline
Internet Archive services are temporarily offline.
Please check our official accounts, including Twitter/X, Bluesky or Mastodon for the latest information.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Edit 20251209 18:22Z:
Back then I didn’t have time to put all updates in the blog post, so I put them as a reply below the [Archive] Richard MacManus: “The Wayback Machine has been offline for the past hour or so…” – Mastodon.
Later I forgot to update this blog post, but I just bumped into the thread again, so here it is:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “RE: https://wiert.me/2025/11/2…” – Mastodon
This is very typical for almost all their maintenance and outages and really frustrating for their users (of which luckily more and more are donating to them).
Plus that the title suggests the whole Internet Archive is under maintenance whereas the rest really is working pretty OK.
A page like `status.web.archive.org` or `status.archive.org` would be a much welcomed.
Just blogged about it: https://wiert.wordpress.com/?p=187822
(Hopefully Mastodon gets backtick code formatting)

It didn’t, but now that I’m back behind a keyboard, I see some social media activity by Jason Scott:

There is at least some progress:

Some 32 hours after the outage started, the status is this:
– HTTP 200 for https://web.archive.org/save/
– SRY page for https://web.archive.org/save/https://mastodon.social/@wiert/115582221809188503

Also some social media coverage yesterday:

– https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive/115583852434614027The first were at almost 8 hours after the incident started. That’s pretty late for status updates on a large outage.
Time to get to the next appointment. Back in some 8 hours or so.

The appointment took way longer: got back late, did the mandatory 12 hour recovery hence the follow up only now.
The good thing: the Wayback Machine seems to have fully recovered.
New social media coverage some 2 hours after my coverage yesterday confirms this:
– https://x.com/internetarchive/status/1991888073446318191
– https://bsky.app/profile/archive.org/post/3m65l4skb3c2c
– https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive/115588341280707332
Glad things work again. Now going through my backlog of pages that need to be archived.
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ricmac @internetarchive Slo…” – Mastodon
Slowly archival times go down. From about 20 hours 2 days ago to about 6 hours now.
Edit 20251120T1614Z:
For a short time, some of the links didn’t redirect to the above SRY page, but now they again do. This was just a short happy period:

[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @cyb3rops on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
If your agent gets flooded – detect the flooding.
If code gets obfuscated – detect the obfuscation.
If ETW gets silenced – detect the silence.
If the EDR gets killed – detect the killing.
If logs get cleared – detect the clearing.The act of hiding is often more suspicious than what’s being hidden.
It’s like a surveillance camera going black or freezing.
That is the signal.
I’ve been doing this successfully for years.I detect obfuscated crap all the time.
People ask, “What is it?”
I say, “No fucking clue. Could be:
– a Themida-packed sample with a Microsoft copyright,
– a UPX-packed ELF with a 1-char filename,
– a PowerShell script that looks like static noise, or
– a fake svchost.exe with no Microsoft copyright.”I don’t need to know what it is.
It’s obviously shady.
That’s enough to detect it – and deal with it.
There’s a Chinese saying that fits perfectly: 欲蓋彌彰
The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes.

Way more lightweight than Flipper Zero (less chance of getting it confiscated at border controls as well) but also less powerful/flexible.

Such a cool historic artefact: [Wayback corbosman on Twitter: “Just found this highly advanced drawing of the network setup at HIP97. The ??? probably meant we didn’t have the hardware for it yet.”
It is a nice addition to the existing HIP97 information, of which some is at:

Het is al bijna 20 jaar geleden dat Jan Disselkoen overleed, en doordat hij al in 1995 permanent werd uitgeschakeld is er vrijwel niets op internet over hem te vinden.
Toch jammer, want hij was naast een aimabele man ook een erg goede radiotechnicus bij de NPO en haar voorlopers.
In de studio de rust zelve, dat kun je op deze twee video’s zien (de eerste een fragment in zwart-wit, de laatste ruim 12 minuten in kleur waarop Jan rond 10:00 achter de mengtafel zichtbaar is tijdens de allereerste uitzending van Radio Veronica als Veronica Omroep Organisatie in het publieke bestel om 08:00 op 28 december 1975 tijdens de opening van Hilversum 4).
